Hillary's Magic Trick
(Davenport, Iowa) Magic Johnson doesn't trust rookies to win a basketball game, much less lead the nation.

"You don't want somebody in there that is young or a rookie at politics," Johnson said Tuesday at a raucous rally in support of presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. "We want somebody in there that knows what they're doing because this job is so huge."

Johnson, a former star with the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, joined with former President Bill Clinton to promote the New York senator's campaign. Implicit in Johnson's comments was the suggestion that Hillary Clinton had more experience than her rivals Barack Obama, who has served in the U.S. Senate since January 2005 and John Edwards, who spent one term as a senator.

Speaking in a packed high school gymnasium, Johnson kept up the comparisons between basketball and politics.
